    Tokyo Kid Brothers-Throw Away the Books, Let's Go Into the Streets!!!!!!!!!!! I am doing a little dance.

    I must've missed this when it was shared on Cities in Flame.

    Having noted that blog, if I may, if other's can go over to that blog and leave a kind word of support...He's been going through a rough patch (healthwise) and getting some encouragement would be well received, I am sure.

    Thanks,
    Gnome

    It was released on CD with a book around 1999. I sometimes see this for sale at bookstores here in Osaka for $5 or $6. There was another book and CD released at the same time, but I can't track it down.

    The books didn't have a whole lot of pictures in them, so If you don't read Japanese, it doesn't add much to the CD.

    Can anyone please provide any more info or links on this band? They seem to be very elusive around the internet.

    @John

    What bookstores do you go to? I'm in Osaka, and I've desperately looked for this in literally every used music shop, with no luck so far!
